Pbiviz create me the .tmp\drop\status

Hi all!

I'm learning how to create a custom visualization widget.

I use Visual Studio Code for editing my files.

Well, I created my project and said "pbiviz start".

It works fine but I have a little trouble.

If I change my sources then pbiviz is trying to rebuild project automatically and it crashes with following error: " UNKNOWN { Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open ...my_project_path\.tmp\drop\status". Next I delete the file ...my_project_path\.tmp\drop\status and say "pbiviz start" again. Or I can change the "hidden" flag for the .tmp folder and then pbiviz build it.

And everytime when I change the source I must delete this file. I'm really tired for it.
How can I rebuild my sources without "shamanic dances"?
Please help me. In another case I will going crazy soon...

P.S. I have Windows 7 32 bit and pbiviz v.1.10.1

Need Help

    Looks like a new issue of PBIVIZ.

     

    What node and npm version do you use? Have you tried to execute pbiviz package under administrator?

      Hello Ignat!

      Thank you for answer.

      It is output of "npm version" command below:

       

      { npm: '5.6.0',
  ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
  cldr: '31.0.1',
  http_parser: '2.7.0',
  icu: '59.1',
  modules: '57',
  nghttp2: '1.25.0',
  node: '8.9.4',
  openssl: '1.0.2n',
  tz: '2017b',
  unicode: '9.0',
  uv: '1.15.0',
  v8: '6.1.534.50',
  zlib: '1.2.11' }

      I am administrator on my computer. I have tried run the PowerShell "as Administrator" and it does not matter.

      Below is output of pbiviz compilier.

       

      PS C:\temp\testVis> pbiviz start

  errno: -4048,
  code: 'EPERM',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: 'C:\\temp\\testVis\\.tmp\\drop\\status' }


      I have set "full control" permissions for everyone on the folder "C:\Temp".
      But error is happening until I delete the file .\tmp\drop\status. Second way is uncheck "hidden" flag for the folder .\tmp

       

      Any ideas?

       

      Thanks in advance,

      Alexander.
